James Redfield Quotes

The world shows us what we need at a specific moment in time.

It's amazing how life conspires to set you up with what you need.

Sometimes books don't find us until the right time.

I had been asking the universe and God to send me a way for me to help me. Show business has been so wonderful to me, and it came in the form of that. It's just so funny how things come into your life, and if you take a chance on them, it might give you a brand new life.

I've been in so many crazy experiences in my life. I was always moving when I was a kid. When I look back, it's hard for me not to feel that certain things just happen for a reason.

I believe in the lessons of life. Some things are mapped out for us. By that I don't mean that you wait for things to happen, but it's interesting the way our lives are like a jigsaw where sometimes the pieces don't fit - and other times they do.

Life was all about being in a certain place, at a certain time.

I think projects find me. It's really interesting. Everything I've done, from "The Truman Show," the "Eternal Sunshine" to "Yes Man" and "Bruce Almighty," always come into my life at the perfect time.

I believe there are no random meetings in our lives – that everyone we touch, who touches us, has been put in our path for a reason. The briefest encounter can open a door, or heal a wound, or close a circle that was started long before your birth.

Choose a love and work to make it true, and somehow, something will happen, something you couldn’t plan, will come along to move like to like, to set you loose, to set you on the way to your next brick wall.

This is called synchronicity - a state in which you almost feel as if you are in a collaborative arrangement with fate.

Individuals do not meet by chance. They are necessary in the experiences of others, though they may not always use their opportunities in a spiritual way or manner.

If it's meant to be for you, it's going to happen.

Rejection is merely a redirection; a course correction to your destiny.

I think books find their way to you when you need them. Whenever I feel like I'm not going to live to read all the books I want to read, I remind myself that the important ones find their way to me.

I believe that every interaction is an act of fate in some way, that we're meant to interact with them, and it's our job to flesh that out and experience it to the fullest and learn the lessons we're meant to.

In the ill-judged execution of the well-judged plan of things the call seldom produces the comer, the man to love rarely coincides with the hour for loving. Nature does not often say 'See!' to her poor creature at a time when seeing can lead to happy doing; or reply 'Here!' to a body's cry of 'Where?' till the hide-and-seek has become an irksome outworn game.

Nothing happens in life by accident. Nothing occurs by chance. Nothing takes place without producing the opportunity for real and lasting benefit to you. The perfection of every moment may not be apparent to you, yet that will make the moment no less perfect.

I always say there are no coincidences.

I don't believe in coincidences.

Be a football to Time and Chance, the more kicks, the better, so that you inspect the whole game and know its utmost law.

But if something was really important, fate made sure it somehow came back to you and gave you another chance.

Knowing our personal mission further enhances the flow of mysterious coincidences as we are guided toward our destinies.

I'm taking opportunities as they come; I really am. Not to get too sort of mystical, but I believe in fate. I believe when roles are presented to me in my life they're for a very specific reason, something for me to learn. And it's coming at the right time.

I believe that things happen for a reason. I think there are no coincidences in life.
